YOUNG BARITONE'S PROGRESS. Mr. Frank Rosser, the young Swansea baritone, who is gaining fame on the London concert stage- under the name of Frank Thome, has been doing excep- tionally well. The Press have given him a ser.es of notices as gratifying as they are deserved. At a recent concert arranged by the Kentish Town Musical Society, Mr. Rosser and Mr. Hughes Maeklin (of Covent Garden), were the -soloists. Mr. Rosser sang the recitative and aria 'Twas here we parted," and 'Tis my remorse, shall avenge thee," from Mey"erbeer's opera, "Dinorah." and for an encore "Friend." He received a remarkable ovation. Mr. Rosser has also appeared at several Queen's Hall concerts with success. He is still Uing trained by Madam Novello-Davies.

THE BEST IN MAN. I ————< go. WHAT THE ODdIN CHURCH MUST I I SEEK. The method of Christ with bad men was the theme of Dr. Robert F. Horton, lof Hampstead, before a very large con- gregation at Walter-road Congrega- tional Church ye-sterday afternoon—a I.tudy, with vivid modern application, of the story of Zaccheus. The words were the simplest; the truths the most pro- found. To have denounced Zaccheus, the ■sinner, would have been an eminently ■ popular thing to do. Christ did not do so, nor did He leave him alone. His way was to throw Himself on the man's hospitality to expect .something from him to become a suppliant instead of a judge. It wa-s Christ's sublime power of seeing the better side the habit of recognising the heart of good in things | evil, the super'Ot'ity of gccd iu every i human being over the evil. "As He acts to us, so must we wt I to one another. It. is the way by which, if ever, we shall wipe out the! criminal classes. j The Best in Man. The principle is this :—Go for the best in every man go for the good in: every man. If you can see no good wed, go for the best that you can see. "The Church stiH thinks it is its duty to denounce the sinner, and execrate j those who don't agree with them. It i>> not the way. The ûnly way irS to believe, to love, to expect, to demand the good which may blossom from them if you have faith enough." In the evening, Dr. Barton again preached before a crowded congregation —an exposition of what in meant m the Bible by the evil of ,yorldlir.tlo';s¡.). Bible by the evit of worldli t*?ss.

SOUTH AFRICA. I GENERAL SMUTS EXPLAINS THE GOvERNMEN i '8 ATTITUDE. The Union House of Assembly was crowded yesterday, W11211 General Smuts, Minister ot Defence, began the exposition of the Government's case in regard to the recent South African strike. After speaking for three hours and a. halt (telegraphs Router's Cape Town correspondent), the Minister felt the strain of the African heat, and an ad- journment was moved until to-day. General Smuts declared that it was not an ordinary strike, but a syndi- calist conspiracy of the most advanced type." He dptadcd the progress of the strike movement and the events of last July, and said that because the assnr- ances of the strike leaders, given at. the outset, were not kept, it became neces- i sary to prohibit public meetings, General Smuts acknowledged the timely help of the Imperial troops at that period. » Breach of faith was further alleged; against the Labour leaders by General Smuts, in that they never intended to keep the compact which was entered into last July. By promoting the recent general strike they had en- deavoured to paralyse industry and enterprise throughout South Africa.

PENTRECHWYTH MINSTRELS. There is much rejoicing at Pentre- chwyth over the reorganisation of the once famous minstrel troupe which up to ten years ago, was the delight of many audiences," and the pride of Pentrechvryth. A few weeks ago the troupe was revival, and gave this week the fruits of its labour. So successful was tho performance that a 'second night" had to be arranged at once/ The conductor of Canaan Chapel j choir—M r. W, J. Davies, is in charge, and he is ably assisted by the follow- i n :kt the piano. Miss Kate Henry; cornermen, Messrs. Coates, Davies. Hughes and Evans; Coons, Messrs. Syd Griffiths, B. Bullock, W. Evans, W. Howell, D. J. Ree-s, R. Hellier, Ivor Evans, and D. J. Jenkin: "Iagsa Joshua," Mr. Harry Griffiths; quart- ette, Messrs. Tom Davics. Parry. Howell and Jenkins; sketches by Messrs. Davics, Humphreys and Row- lands. This new party bids fair to command the popularity of its pre- j. decessor. j

BROKEN DOWN BY PILES. I I Painful Ailment, brought on by Working II in Water, Cured by Zam-Buk. I Mr. Thomas Cunningham suffered such torture from itching piles that he became, as he &ays, "entirely broken down." His restoration to health is solely due to a wonderful Zam-Buk cure. Mr. Cunningham, who lives at Double-row, Marecroft, Viorktop, ref- lated this story to a "Worksop Guard- ian" reporter. 'Three years ago, he said. "I was tunnelling near A shby-de-la Zoueh, and often had to work up to my waist in water. As a result I got piles, which played ha-vo-c with me. Besides being in terrible pain, there were times when I couldn't even walk, and I lost a lot of work. For over two years I was never really free from the torturing itch. "In addition to doctor's treatment, I tried ointments, salves, lotions and physic until I got thoroughly dis- heartened. A mate at last told me how Zam-Buk had cured his piles, and persuaded me to try this balm. Zam-Buk was instantly a success in my severe case. Zam-Buk soothed -the pain and itching in surprising fashion, considering how aill ordinary ointments had failed. The growth of piles was gradually lessened as I persevered with Zam-Buk, and I realised that I was getting cured. "The piles did finally a.nd entirely stop troubling me. As I have now been quite free from them br some time, I can say that Zam-Buk has worked a complete and wonderful cure." Nothing else known to Science pos- sesses the unique and permanent skin curing power of Zam-Duk, the wonder- ful herbal healer. Sold cjily in scaled boxes, at Is. lid and 2s. 9d.

A COMMON CAUSE WEEK," I Swansea is- about to "bloom with beauty. A "Commbn Cause Week" is being organised by the local branch of the National Cnion of Women's Suffrage Societies, who disavow milit- ancy. A large band of enthusiastic workers* is about to carrv on a campaign in the town, commencing on Friday. Their zeal may be judged from the fact that they are prepared to sell their journal in the streetb a.nd from house to house. A "special Swansea nnmtyer" is be- ing printed, containing an account of the Swansea Society, a portrait of its President, M*"ss Dillwyn, and an "A. B.C. of Suffrage," written by a local lady.

RED, BLOTCHY PIMPLES ON  I FACE.  60, Eldon Rd., Cardiff. S. Wales.-— The Cuticura. Soap and Ointment nompletely cured me from the difoi- figuring complaint known as barber's rash. I suffered for a period of about two yeans. It appeared on my face several weeks after I commenced shav- ing, in the form of little blisters. After a. while the blisters commenced to I burst leaving in their places red, blotchy pimples. Then they 6prea-d all over my face, causing a. burning, itching pain, and to crown all. where there were no pimples thero were blackhead.5 which were spreading. Soon there was not a clear piece of skin on my face. "I tried various kinds of ointments., all of which did mo no good, for as soon as I.applied them the rash omniencec; to itch and burn in a most terrible Ivay. After two yearn I w.as recom- mended to try the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. As sooia as I applied the Cuticura Soap and Ointment they soothed the burning pain of the blister- ing pimples and the cure rapidly fol- lowed." (Signed) Max Ludsky, Feb. 12, 1913.

NO AGGRESSION. ——— 0 ——— GERMAN MINISTERS AND RELATIONS WiTH ENGLAND. THE NAVAL HOLIDAY. As briefly reported in our later edi- tions yesterday. important statements were made by the German Ministers for the Navy and for Foreign Affairs at a meeting of the Budget Committee of the Reichstag. The Naval Estimates and the pro- vision of an aerial fleet were under dis- cussion, says Reuter's Berlin corres- pondent. Herr von Jgoow, Secretary for Foreign Affairs, said the relations be- tween Great Britain and Germany could 1>0 described as very good and tuat the entente and the rapprochement were making progress. The relations be- tween the twc Cabinets were in every way marked by mutual confidence. The ?eynot? of public opinion had become a dnrerent one from what it was years ago, and one couLd not conceal from one's self the impression that a certain change had taken nlace in the general feeling in both countries. Similar interests. The realisation of the idea had gained ground that in many points ana ques- tions they could work with and along- side one another, and that their inter- ests in many cases touched one another. The events of recent times, incidents in the Balkans, and the negotiations in London, contribitte(L a great deal to that end. In .England it had been pokssibk* for people to convince them- selves that no aggressive policy was be- ing conducted on the German side. Germany had been able to work to- gether with England at effecting a com- promise between both groups of Powers, and at avoiding international conflicts. Certain rapprochements had resulted. The relations between both Cabinets were confidential and loyal and actuated by the desire to meet each other. The Naval Position. Admiral von Tirpitz, Secretary for the Navy, said that from the point of view of naval technique he had nothing to add to or subtracc, from his declara- tions last year. He emphasised the fact that tne ratio of 16 to 10 ottered by Great Britain was still acceptable. On the other band, the year's naval holiday, which had long been thrown out in the court?) of a Minister's speech to his constituents, could not be carried into effect. After some further observations on this point. Admiral von 'Tirpitz said no positive proposals had set been made to Germany. Should such be made they would assuredly be examined in a spirit of goodwill. Herr Von Jagow confirmed the pre- vious statement that official proposals had not reached the German Govern- ment. It seemed to him to be difficult to find a way for the realisation of Mr. Churchill's proposal, which, moreover, so far as he knew, had not met with a particularly cordial reception in Eng- land itself. The spokesman of the Progressive Party greeted with satisfaction the im- provement in the relations with Great Britain which was in the interests of both these great staMs., Germany's armaments bore no aggressive char- acter. -7 'Justified Mistrust." "I I Ttle reporter or 111e committee said he did not believe in the possibility of an agreement with England regarding the pace of naval construction and tlia ratio on naval armaments. Justified mistrust was essential in politics. lie, too, would wariniy greet an agreement with England but it was England her- self which was continually urging to new armaments. Germany adhered to her naval law. What made hjm anxious was that Russia was developing her Baltic Fleet to a great extent. The Social Democrat said the state- ment of the Secretary of State in re- gard to the ratio of 16 to ".0 had made a favourable impression on him. The representatKve r4t National Liberals said he was glad that relations with England had improved, and that the tone of the English Press had be- come more courteous, but he would like heavily to underline the reference of the reporter to pustify mistrust." England had supported the Franco- Russian protests in the matter of the German military mission to Turkey. He was not willing that in the settle- ment of a number of questions in the Balkans and Asia, German interests there should suffer from over-much comideration being shown to England. The debate was continued to-day, but so far no details are to hand. I

DRONES IN THE NATION'S HIVE. To the Editor. We have received a letter from Lieut.- General Sir Robert Baden-Powell, in which he states: From top to bottom of our social structure there are too many drones in our hive. In the Boy Scouts we seek to eliminate the drone and to provide that the next generation shall be a generation of workers. We try to "educate" the boys by drawing out tho best that is in them, rather than to "instruct" them by drilling knowledge into them, and our methods of train- ing character are such as appeal to the boys themselves: they learn voluntarily and eagerly, and not by compulsion. Our appeal for both men and money- has the enthutiajstic support of our President. H.E. H. the Duke of Con- naught. We ask for the provision of a capital sum of £ 2-50.000 for a perman- ent Endowment Fund, which will be imested in the names of Viscount Go:s- cben, the Hon. Harry Lawtion Mr. James Leigh Wood and myself as trus- tees, and the income—-estimated at £ 10,000 a year—will be spent for the Boy Scout movement. Every penny of it is wanted.

"CERTAIN PRACTICES." -——. db. —— LANDORE CHAPEL COiiCREGATION'SI STRUNG RESOLUTION. The members and congregation of New Siloh Welsh Congregational I Chapel, Landore, Swansea, have passed the following resolution:—" We, as a Church and congregation, express in the most emphatic and unhe&itating manner, our disapproval of the action of a class of people in cur town in in- troducing certain practices having a direct tendency to demoralise our young people, and to create in them a ta-ste for those things which are a di-sgrace to our civilisation. We feel deeply grate- ful to the members of our Watch Com- mittee for their strong protest against inviting to Swansea one who has chosen to be a fugitive from his own country for reasons that are well-Jcnown, and we trust that they will receive the united support of our Town Council in an endeavour to prevent such a de- moralising exhibition taking place, and we consider that a building such as the Drill Hall, raised at the expense of the public for Government service should certainly not be utilised for such a degrading purpo.se." A copy has been sent to the Mayor of Swansea.

I HOW I CURED MY CORNS IN I SEVEN DAYS. "I now know the delight of being free from corns and foot troubles, and this for the first time in 20 years, and aJl through a chance acquaintance. I was a cripple, and the change is wonderful. I want every readei of the 'Dai!y leader' to know of it. I was advised to soak the feet for ten minutes in a footbath of hot water in which was dissolved an ordi- nary foot shampoo, cOöting 2d. at Rich, The Chemist's; then to dry the feet well, and paint on the corns with the brush provided a little of "WaukwcH," also obtainable from Rich, The Chemist, and costing Is. Hd. This I did, and when I waked the feet the second time after applying the corn cure for seven days, I found to my deiight that I could lift out all the corns easi ly, all the hard skin peeled off, the burning and the swelling ceased, and niv feet Were like new."

I PLAYWRiTIKC. I MR. WALTER MELVILLE'S METHODS I EXPLAINED IN COURT. I The action brought by Miss Rose- mary Rees, authoress, against Messrs. Walter and Frederick Melville is 01 especial interest to those Swansea play- goers who can recall the palmy days of the old Star Theatre, when "Old Emm, the grandfathsr of the brothers Melville, was in his prime. Many members of the family stul reside in the town. Miss Rees alleges that her rights in a play, "The Beggar Bride," have been infringed by the performance of Messrs. Melville's production, "The Beggar Girl's Wedding." The evidence has been of a most amusing character, and yesterday Mr. Walter Melville was cross-examined as to his methods in writing a play. If you com 1 are one of your plays, said Mr Younger, "with one of Bernard Shaw's plays, is it not the fact that you rely on entirely different effects from him?"—Possibly. (Laughter). You don't rely on effects in your plays that Ibsen would rely on in hi.s. (Laughter) .—Dramatic effects are all the same. They depend on the octmg. Have you not formed a conclusion, speaking broadly, that the play which succeeds best is. the play that tells a good story and gi-loi and thrills the house?--No. I would really say you do not know what you are talking Jihout. The play that draws best, the play that has the høst plot. is the play that draws the money. (Laughter). Mr. Melville said it was the custom to type several copies of newly acquired plays in case the original should be lost or destroyed. It-had been done by his father and grandfather as well. But surely they did not have type- writers in your grandfather's time?- Oh. yes. When did your gr.-i-n(Ifather die?-Ob, he died after my father. (Loud laughter). Tne wrong sice. I The rea.ding of an old newspaper cutting by Mr. Younger was the cause of uproarious merriment. Mr. Younger read: "After the reception his Majesty left the Audience Chamber and joined the Dowager Empress of Ria for a short promenade." His Lordship: But surely, Mr. Younger, you arc reading from the wrong side of the cutting. The laughter that followed was loud and long, ariel judge and counsel alike joined heartily in the general mcrri- men t. Mr. Thomas H. Taylor, theatrical manager, said lie had at one time acted as private secretary to the defendant. Mr. Melville had dictated the play without any books or manuscript. Mr. Younper: Is it not a wonderful thing that in the course of-three days Mr. Melville should be able, without my further trouble, to produce such a successful and extremely valuable piece of work?—You are not dealing with an ordinary man Avhen you deal with Mr. Me 1 vi lie: (Laughter.) The hearing was adjourned.

AN EXCITING VOYAGE I WELSH PLAYERS ARRIVE IN NEW I YORK. As already reported in the Leader," the Welsh Players had a most exciting voyage to America. Terrible gales de- layed the Majestic, the liner on which they travelled, but she reached New York on Saturday, when the second- class passengers signed a memorial ex- pressing their admiration of the fine seamanship displayed by Comanandev Beadnell. Among the first-class pas- sengers were President Wilson" s daugh- ter and her husband, who were return- ing from their honeymoon in Europe. The incidents of the journey were, however, not exhausted when the har- bour was reached. The Majestic was ?' .?teaming at about five knots when the' 1 dock-tug Nicholas drew alongside. But the tide was running so .rapidly that as the tug slowed down sile was swung across the liner's bows, and a violent collision resulted. Flames shot up rirlom the tugs deck, and the engi- I neer and deck hand leapt overboard" but the captain shouted that he meant co try and beach the vessel,, so the two men climbed back, and ah attempt was made to reach the Eric Elevator Pier, jersey City. With skope and flames issuing from < her engine-room, the Nicholas was driven ahead at full speed, wih her decks awash. But s' e was sinking rapidly, and another tug, R. N. Bar- nett, raced to her afsistance, and the crew were taken off in the nick of time, £ he vessel disappearing beneath the water. The Majestic was afterwards safely docked. A Concert. I During the voyage the Welsh Players gave a concert, and the Americans par- ticularly enjoyed the Welsh comic songs which Mr. Will Hopkin gave. A collection, amounting to 6d. vas made- on behalf of the seamen's charities. The Players are staying at the Mor- gan Hotel, which is kept by Mr. J. H. Joseph, a native of Llangennech. near Llaneily. For the production of Change," the Booth Theatre, Broad- way, has been finally settled upon, and the American managers are sanguine of success. New Strike Play. I The DrrcmL Society is bringing out a iiiw Welsh play, hy Mr. T. R. Evans, at the Rehearsal Theatre, on Sunday next. There is a triple "bill on the occa- • ion, and Mr. play is entitled "Barn-y-Brodyr" a Carnarvonshire play. It will be acted entirely ill Welsh but the programme will contain a full English synopsis of the story. The theme is the expulsion from the Seiat of a strike leader--a subject' that is pe- culiarly topica I and appropriate at the present time, and the c«ist includes, be- sides Mr. Evans himself, Miss Janet Evans, Miss Cordelia Rhys, Miss Megan Williams, Mr Gwilvm Acron, and Mr. H. D. Jones
